Hi, I have a PAL PS3fat from dubai and I'm trying to get it on a NTSC TV Sony xbr9 52". Its showing as 'unsupported signal...' through HDMI, No picture at all. The AV cable does show picture in color not black/white. I have tried it on other tv and same thing no picture through hdmi. The AV cable works so I thought component cable should too but also no picture, then with Green/Blue plug and red remove its black/white.

I've read that there should not be a issue with hdmi whether its PAL/NTSC because hdmi is digital signal but not true for me. Then some had no success with hdmi but component cable works fine for them.

Is there anyway I can change the 576i to ntsc resolution? I remember seeing somewhere about ftp to ps3 and they have settings for these but I don't know where located or if i'm about to change them.

You should be able to reset your PS3 to automatically detect resolution of the connected TV.

Switch the PS3 off via front power button so the red light is on. Plug the HDMI lead to TV, switch TV on and select the corresponding HDMI input. Then push and HOLD front power on button on the PS3. It shoul beep once first and shortly after that twice. Let the button go after the double beep and after few seconds the picture should show up on your screen offering you to select / choose the screen resolution. You might need to try it two or more times to get the timings right

Well this happened to me one time. what i did was connected the HDMI cable to the tv and PS3 and did the PS3 resolution reset (by holding the power button until you hear a second beep) and after it reset i had a blank screen so what i did was just unplug and replug the HDMI cable from the PS3 and it worked

I got the same problem with my panasonic TC-P46S2 TV. But I just get the black screen nothing more. The weird thing is when I use it with video the PS3 even tells me it found a HDMI source and if I want to use it. However nothing happens when change to HDMI...

is it possible we need this i.o. to get a signal? amazon.com/Atlona-AT-HD560-HDMI-Converter-1080p/dp/B0011MOVN8
